Its hardly surprising that Led Zepplin's one off O2 gig would be a magnet for touts - with a massive demand for the limited 22,000 tickets.
Its hardly surprising that Led Zepplin's one off O2 gig would be
a magnet for touts - with a massive demand for the limited 22,000
tickets.
Its also not surprising that reunion promoter Harvey Goldsmith
has vowed to fight the ticket touts who are already re-selling tickets
and codes to buy tickets for the show. Despite 'Glastonbury-esque'
precautions being taken over the sales of tickets themselves, the codes
that allow people to buy the tickets have already begun to appear on
online auction sites such as eBay, fetching as much as 500 per code -
even though the code only allows you to purchase two tickets, they are
not the tickets themselves.
Goldsmith has now said "No tickets are
being issued until the day before the show" and that the tickets would
only be issued to the named person with the code. Ticket holders will
need ID to match name and code and "unless all three pieces of
information match, you will not be allowed into the concert and you
certainly won't get a ticket".
